War is ugly. Political war against the swamp, while accepting their one-sided rules of engagement, is exponential hell. In order to gain victory, you have to be prepared to advance into the fire at all costs. Andrew Breitbart, Donald Trump and apparently Dinesh D’Souza understand this modern political truth.

In the final analysis this approach is the essential element of ‘Cold Anger’:

The Democrats and UniParty Republicans will cede no ground. There is only one majority political ideology within Washington DC, and it is based on financial interest. Their rules of engagement are entirely self-serving. They will fight against any entity, for any reason, on any issue, even reversing their own individual policy positions, if they view that entity as an existential risk to their power structure and decades-long financial constructs.

For those who live within the institutions, nothing is out-of-bounds; therefore, in order to defeat the systemic and institutional rot, we must fight as an insurgent opposition.

It may be unsettling for most; after all, we-the-people have never sought confrontation for the sake of itself. However, confrontation is an outcome of a battered electorate finally saying ‘No More’.

The political pendulum has never, in the history of humanity, stayed on one side of a swing. Likewise, the resulting backlash is always, always, directly proportionate to how far off skew it was taken before corrective action was engaged.

President Trump was/is our corrective political MOAB. There is no longer a retreat position possible. Those who oppose the restoration of our Republic have gone all-in. Their terms are to remove the threat. He and We are the threat.

Foolishness, selfishness, corruption and betrayal of our nation by its political elites have served to reveal dangers within our republic. Exhausted, we accepted that 2016 was the time when forceful correction needed to be applied. However, we fully understood that misplaced corrective action, regardless of intent, would be neither safe nor wise.

The media are disconnected from the reality of their landscape yet seem to find themselves opining about political violence. Those media voices would be wise to remind themselves that candidate Donald Trump, now President Trump, was the “lesser extreme” strategy for correction. As President Trump said during a recent rally in Iowa: “they’re lucky our side isn’t violent.” He was entirely accurate. President Trump was the last best option.

There’s a level of anger far deeper and more consequential than expressed rage or visible behavior. Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed. You cannot poll or measure it; and even those who carry it avoid discussion. And that decision has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of correctness.

Cold Anger is not hatred, it is far more purposeful.

Hatred takes energy. Cold Anger is not willing to give energy to the opposition.

Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently.

Betrayal lies at the originating cellular level for Cold Anger.

We watched the shooting of cops, and the protests parades which followed, absorbing.

Cold Anger takes notice of the liars, even from a great distance – seemingly invisible to the mob. Cold Anger will still hold open the door for the protest parade goer. Mannerly.

Cold Anger when evidenced is more severe because it is more strategic. It is more deliberate; Cold Anger is far more purposeful.

Cold Anger does not gloat; a central tenet is to absorb consistent vilification and ridicule as fuel.

This sense of Cold Anger does not want to exist. It is forced to exist in otherwise unwilling hosts – who would much rather be sensing something more productive, yet each person refuses to be destabilized by it.

The productive and polite life continues, but the larger notations necessarily remain. Keen awareness and acceptance of the surroundings is a trait of those carrying Cold Anger.

The last thing we need in Alabama and the U.S. Senate is a Schumer/Pelosi puppet who is WEAK on Crime, WEAK on the Border, Bad for our Military and our great Vets, Bad for our 2nd Amendment, AND WANTS TO RAISES TAXES TO THE SKY. Jones would be a disaster!

I don’t know whether anybody advanced this hypothesis. . . but this is from my own head:

what if Dreadful Mitch knew something about the upcoming smears (if not downright participated in the accretion of that fake dirt) and, under the pretense of loyalty, pushed President Trump into supporting Luther Strange?

I remember quite well the President’s last minute speech in support of Luther Strange, and his (100% sincere and likely motivated by what he knew at the time) insinuations that he may be forced into supporting Judge Moore but he might not win. What if he was told by Dirty Mitch – Mr. President, you have to jump in otherwise we’ll lose a Senator?

What if President Trump was made aware of all these dirty allegations long ago yet started seeing through the fog of slander and decided to support Judge Moore also because he felt he has been hitherto manipulated and used?

If my conjecture is right, all the more a reason to support Judge Moore and OF COURSE President Trump.

“under the pretense of loyalty, pushed President Trump into supporting Luther Strange?”

No, I believe it was a strategic decision by Trump. Supporting Strange was all upside for him.

He seems humble enough to “get” that endorsements matter only to Globalists, who seem to think the peasants hang on their every word. Meanwhile, Trump has to work with McConnell until he is removed of his leadership role.

So, do what the Establishment/McConnell wants. Make them think that Trump is just another sheep. Trump knows that Moore was going win without his endorsement and most of his supporters had seen WWF wrestling. (Faked for your entertainment.). So endorse Strange. If, on the off chance Strange wins, Trump is in better negotiating position. If Strange lost, he’s able to tell McConnell with a smile, “Well, I tried. What will you do for me in return anyway?”

These Tweets are in the same vein. Reminding McConnell he tried to help avoid McConnell’s self made disasters and side stepping Moore’s controversies by being anti-Democrat.

It’s how you win in a complex environment where people hate you – create win-win scenarios for yourself.

rsmith1776: please, let me advance a different conjecture, which I posted on CTH before the initial Alabama primary election.

The state of AL has open primaries (people can declare in party’s election they will vote on election day, right at the precinct. There were 3 republican candidates running. So, PDJT endorsed Sen. Strange, expecting the dems to embarrass him by voting in the republican election for one the other two candidates (Moore being one of these) and, at the same time, subtracting votes from the dem candidate. Dems would do this knowing full well that, historically, the odds are against a dem winning in AL.

So, who won? One of them, of course: Judge Moore. That would be 3D chess played to perfection. At this time, PDJT supports the republican candidate, as expected. If Moore wins, PDJT has checkmate and the lying media go crying … again.

I wrote about this on my site but the gist is: August 1 Mitch declared that a bipartisan tax deal was dead, they’d need to vote it though with only Republican support. With the GOP holding a NARROW majority (and turncoats like McCain therein) Trump had to have almost every Republican in line to vote for its passage before Christmas. A week after Mitch reveals a party line vote is needed Trump endorses Strange, the SITTING senator whose vote is needed NOW (before mid December when whomever won is seated). Trump knew what he was doing when he endorsed Strange. Its unfortunate that tax reform might not pass as quick as Trump wanted but had it come out sooner he needs Strange’s vote and had he not thrown him a bone in the primary Strange could’ve been a vindictive lame duck.

A Treeper postulated that the President would need the cooperation of Luther Strange for senate votes during the remainder of his term should Strange lose his seat and this may be one reason why President Trump supported him. Another reason was to support Mitch’s choice and not embarrass either man, especially in light of the same upcoming senate votes. Obviously, the AL voters understood the dilemma the President was in and didn’t let it sway them.

I like all this conjecture about the endorsement of Strange … mostly because if Strange is reading it, he no longer has ANY clue why Trump endorsed him … but he can’t turn his back on Trump without it being obvious he’s a turncoat.

For now, people are posting congressional candidates that are maga at:http://www.reddit.com/r/the_congress.

if you have time put various phrase into your search engine and see if you can find a more analytical website. there should be some.

Funny story, I was purchasing my copy of “Obama’s America 2016” and the cashier was extolling how much she just LOVED Obama! I told her to be sure and see this movie, she’d get a big kick out of it.
Thank goodness Walmart now has self checkout

Excuse my ignorance in this kind of legal matters but, would a pardon from PDJT restore Dinesh’s right to vote? Especially considering that he was sent to prison for doing what democrats (and some republicans) do all the time through chicanery and get away with.

What did Dinesh do to be thrown in jail? He exceeded the $2700 per person contribution to a long-time personal friend which happened to be a politician.

Dunno … if the Prez says so, I imagine the expungement from the NICS list could be expedited a little. The question is, does Dinesh actually want it? Right now, he has a good selling point in pointing out how precious he thinks the right to vote is and why we should vote (more or less) in honor of him not being able to.

Dinesh plead guilty to violating federal campaign finance laws. He was guilty of illegally reimbursing two ‘straw donors’ who donated $10,000 each to the unsuccessful 2012 U.S. Senate campaign in New York of Wendy Long, a Republican he had known since attending Dartmouth College in the early 1980s.

“It was a crazy idea, it was a bad idea,” D’Souza told Berman before being sentenced. “I regret breaking the law.” He arraigned excessive campaign contributions to the Senate campaign of his friend Wendy Long.

I am not concerned about these buffoons that call themselves Republicans in the Senate! The Senate breaks incredibly well for us in 2018.

Democrats have to defend 23 seats while Independents that vote with Democrats have to defend 2 (25 in total). 10 of those 25 seats are in states that our President won in 2016. Some by very large margins. They are as follows:

West Virginia – PDJT won by 41.7%
North Dakota – PDJT won by 35.5%
Montana – PDJT won by 20.2%
Indiana – PDJT won by 19%
Missouri – PDJT won by 18.5%
Ohio – PDJT won by 8.1%
Florida – PDJT won by 1.2%
Pennsylvania – PDJT won by 0.7%
Wisconsin – PDJT won by 0.7%
Michigan – PDJT won by 0.3%

We will also be very competitive in Virginia (against Tim Kaine), New Jersey (against Bob Melendez who got a hung jury) and Maine (against Independent Angus King).

The ONLY two states we are vulnerable in is Nevada and to a lesser extent Arizona.

Doomsday scenario is Democrats win all 25 plus pick up NV and AZ. That would put the Senate at 50-50 with VP Pence breaking the tie.

My scenario has us losing NV but winning states like ND, IN, MO, OH, FL, PA and my sleeper would be Maine is Governor Le Page runs. That would put the Senate at 58 R to 42 D. If Joe Manchin is stupid enough to vote NO to the Tax Reform Bill, we will ABSOLUTELY flip WV!

Here is the cherry on the sundae: Bob Corker gone and Marsha Blackburn replacing him in TN. Jeff Flake gone and either Kelli Ward or Jeff DeWit replacing him in AZ and LUCIFER BACK HOME WITH HIS FATHER IN HELL (John McCain)!

You are onto something. Check out this quote from Salena Zito’s article on the political shift in Erie, PA:

“Democrats need the Kathy Dahlkempers of their party to win all kinds of races up and down the ballot. They represent an opportunity to bring in moderate voters who are looking for someone to sympathize with their economic and cultural concerns without the worry they will sell them out once they get to Washington.

Trump won Erie County in 2016 by just under 2,000 votes – a first for a Republican since 1984. While it was a hint that Democrats have an image problem here, it was state Senator Dan Laughlin’s shocking 7 point win over an incumbent Democrat here that should really give them pause.

The race was about his rival’s support for tax increases and accepting perks for state legislators – just the kind of fiscal prudence and drain-the-swamp messaging that attracted Democrats to vote for Trump.

Dahlkemper entered the county commissioner race with nearly an 18 point lead, but won by less than one point. It is what happened between those two numbers Democrats need to dig in and understand if they want to win back the House next year. Because if their support down ballot in places like Erie County show that type of erosion, their chances are weakening despite the results that came out of Virginia.”

Folks this entire Roy Moore setup tells me a few things! The Senate Rhinos 🦏 are absolutely frightened that when Roy wins, it will embolden our President’s base as well as Bannon to take out even more Rhinos 🦏 not only in 2018 but in 2020 and 2022. I still believe Dean Heller, Republican from NV, will walk away in early March. He maybe hanging on with the hope Roy loses which crushes the Bannon movement. If McDaniel announces he is running in MS, Incumbent Rhino 🦏 Wicker may also step down or get primaried.

They are also petrified that Moore joins the Big Club with his guns cocked and loaded. The secrets may just start getting out.

They see this opportunity to lay traps anytime they want to take someone out that is a threat to their way of life. It ALSO sets our President up in 2020 to have another group of women come out with every type of lie in the world. That is their ultimate target 🎯!

They also want to neutralize our President from going out and campaigning for Roy Moore. If he does, they will paint him with a similar brush. I think our President will see how it plays out in the polls to determine what should he do.

I am so grateful Roy isn’t going anywhere! My brother and I plan on donating $50 each to his campaign. I know our Alabama Treepers have warned us about Moore and there may come a time I might have to eat crow but this is so much bigger than eating crow. This is in many ways the ultimate fork in the road for our country.

Roy Moore will win the Great State of Alabama by double digits! It won’t even be close!

The more small donations given from across the country, the better. (Of course, $50 is not small in my book.) Think about the number of donors meaning at least as much as the amount of $$ for the campaign. Cold Anger brings hot turnout.

I sure hope so, Flepore, I do not want the Dems to gain any ground, especially in red Alabama! We are already such a slim majority, and Moore is better than an obstructionist Dem, which Jones will be. And these 40 year old accusations stink to high heavens.

They have to see it (the dodgy sex-related accusations, ridiculously far after the ‘fact’ and equally ridiculously close to the election) not working a few times before they might figure out it doesn’t work and stop doing it. I don’t personally think that they’re that bright, though.

Note to Alabamians: TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED. Work it from now until the 12th. Copy and save Sundance’s VOTE graphic and email it on the 11th and 12th to all your friends and family.
To the republican naysayers who say it doesn’t matter about voting, say these three words: SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE AND THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO ENSURE A SECURE OUTCOME. What will their children and grandchildren think if their parents/grandparents let that opportunity slip away? Who will answer their grandchildren’s question: WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?

Don’t let it. VOTE on the 12th against liberal policies and the media. It’s critical!

Ivehadit, your question, “Who will answer their grandchildren’s question: WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?” is a good one. However, I believe in God and in Jesus Christ as judge of the living and the dead. What gets me to the polls whenever there is an election, especially one as important as a Senator, is no wanting to answer that question when Christ someday asks me.

What could I answer? Well, it was raining out? I had to work late and was too tired and rushed? I didn’t want to take the kids with me to stand in line? The old stand by, I didn’t feel very well? Or, the big whopper one, I couldn’t figure out the best candidate; the one for partial birth abortion (sucking the baby’s brains out as it tries to be born) or the one with dubious 40 year old accusations against him?

I’d vote for Judge Moore if I could. The next best thing is to donate to his campaign. I made a small contribution on line; quick and easy, took 2 minutes. Might make another donation before the election. https://www.roymoore.org/
I hope the Judge uses new campaign contributions to purchase new television and radio ads. Saturate Alabama with his message – to Hell with the Ruling Class! He should also hire a few MAGA female spokeswomen and attorneys, IMHO. Judge Moore for US Senate = Drain the Swamp.

Currently reading “Grant” by Chernow, Lincoln/Grant/Sherman/Sheridan understood clearly, that to rebuild the Union required the complete destruction of the rebels. They did not enjoy the massive amount of death/destruction they undertook, but they understood what was required. This is no different, the UniParty needs to be completely destroyed, no half measures.

I agree. In the old testament God commanded the Israelites to kill all of the Amorites, including all women and children because they were wicked. The uniparty is wicked and we need to completely destroy them.

They destroyed indeed and they were unnecessarily cruel. Living in the South now finally understood the monstrosity. At the end the descendants of the slaves ended up being slaves again of the democrats. Tragic.

The comments have been enlightening, and compel me to make another (albeit modest) donation to Roy Moore’s campaign. I will vote with my dollars from a distant state, and pray for Judge Moore’s victory and vindication. The public evidence of OUTRIGHT FRAUD in the patently altered “yearbook” cannot be denied.

My cold anger has begun leaking out when I talk to idiot neighbors or brainwashed CNN devotees. A Roy Moore win will help end the days of the Allreds smearing candidates with forged documents and false charges. It has to end. Yes women need to be protected but don’t just take what they say as truth. All these cases are different and need to be investigated for authenticity even wierdo Franken…..Now we must define what is a fire able offense. What is assault.. Many questions but for now BURN old Mitch to the ground and vote Roy Moore….

Pray for me Treepers. I find there is nothing left for me in this life. And I can find no more joy since waking up to reality. Things I used to love I now hate because I see the propaganda. All I see now is bad news and there is nothing I can do about it. I can’t change anything, I’m just a peon and my life means nothing. At least I was happy watching movies and tv before two years ago. At least I had joy. I didn’t know about the great replacement. I didn’t know about the people trying to ruin western civilization. I wish I could go back and forget, because ignorance really is bliss. I get Cypher now.

Dead Soul….I understand how you can feel this way. I’ve felt much the same in the year leading up to this past election. Please pick a branch and allow some of the other Treepers to give you some comfort and peace of mind. Alone we are powerless, however, together and in God’s presence, we have been able to make a difference.

Do not despair, Deal Soul…there is beauty and goodness all around us.
All you have to do is look away from those who are trying to make you depressed with their doom and gloom, and you will start seeing it.

Dead Soul, I can honestly tell you I know what you mean. I have been fighting those same feelings for all the Obama years. Now there is hope. And there are many of us. You are not alone. Hang out here some. If you get to a post by a “Debbie Downer” type, skip over it and don’t read it. There is a lot of good news, you just won’t hear it on the fake news media. And, don’t ever think you don’t count.

DS – Oh boy, you’ve come to the right place. Some of us are stone cold nuts (guilty!) but we believe everyone’s life is special and precious and worthwhile, especially yours.

There is no great replacement, so perish that thought. There have always been ppl trying to ruin civilization, and we are still here, so they’ve not succeeded, have they? There is a great reckoning that is here and ongoing and joyful. And that is not propaganda.

Dead Soul, it is a TOTAL privilege to pray for you! LISTEN TO ME: Our beloved Lord Almighty God can use ANYTHING and ANY ONE for His service of mercy and reconciliation. Are you willing to be HIS? (please say ‘yes!’) Let Him SHOW YOU a worth that you have never imagined.

T DOESN’T MATTER WHERE YOU ARE – He will take you AS you are but He will NOT leave you – nor forsake you – EVER! Rest now. Trust Him. He LOVES you and He can show you the way. BABY STEPS. Just little baby steps. You have already showed gratitude and wisdom in seeking prayer. EXCELLENT start!

You’re in the right place. You’re among other ‘broken’ people. And we need you. HE needs you. Rest now. Trust Him!

This is exactly what the left is trying to do, crush our spirit, manipulate our natural fears, anxieties and emotions.
Don’t let them win, you owe it to humanity to be reborn, and it does not have to be religion.
We are going to win you know!

Dear Soul, pick a branch and come in from the cold. A really really lot of us felt the same way before we discovered this refuge. Here, you will find warmth, support, protection camaraderie and purpose; while we laugh and cry together, while we reconnoiter, strategize and execute the battle.

For some reason I can’t put my finger on, I have a feeling in my gut that Dear Soul may become one of our fiercest and most effective warriors. And we were lucky enough to “be there that day when DS found a branch at the Treehouse.”

DS, listen, I sort of felt the same way for 8 years but when DJT announced he was running, I just knew he would win and nothing on earth would stop him. I knew this was a God thing. So, this being true, we have to stay around and see God’s purpose in all this. You know there is a reason for everything, right? So DJT is going to do whatever God planned for him to do and we get to see it all! That excites me so much!! Praying that you will be uplifted by all these folks wishing you nothing but the best.! God bless you!

Dead Soul, what I read between the lines is that you are very angry.. You are not alone and, if I may offer some advise, don’t turn it inward. I will venture to say that all of us here are very angry at what has happened to our country. It’s the “cost of knowing”. We tap that anger and turn it into #ColdAnger. Sundance helps make that happen. This site keeps us focused and on the right track. And confident when things are portrayed negatively about our Donald. No need to watch TV news at all! You will be uplifted here by many hands on your branch! +++

Dead…I know it is easy to to say ok Uncle I give up. Never give up. There are great books to read, still good movies to watch – Make new friends that align with your beliefs. Go to a Conservative Greet ups. Take a walk and and the whole time just name things you are grateful for. You control what you think and how you will react to what you think. There is an evil that seeks to take your joy….resist THAT. Choose to be joyful, choose to love life.

Sometime you have to trip the negative thinking…the thinking starts to go in circles… yes there are bad things but so many MORE good. Take one day at at time.

Say ….In one breath, I release all negative feelings and fearful thoughts, and give them all to God. I will fill up my lungs with wonder and awe and pure, unadulterated joy. Today, I will rejoice… I am alive and will have as a goal just for today, to make a stranger smile.

Dearest Soul Friend,
Today is the Feast Day of Crist The King!
Our good Jesus triumphs in the end! Your presence here is greatly appreciated it is a drop of grace in this pleasant ocean of mercy.

These comments and articles are all written by genuine and caring individuals. Each having a purposeful impact. Remember in Our Lord’s Day he chose only 12 Apostles. Those dear and Amazingly average men spread our Christian faith among billions and STILL counting to this very day. And that only took 12 men who truly lived their faith!

Each one of us offers a drop of grace to another when we perhaps least expect it. Someone will need your smile or helping hand you’ll see -and you will become a blessing to another. God Bless You Dear Soul Friend.

A note, not to DS, but rather to the Treepers contemplating DS’s post:

This is a reminder of what happens when a Red-Pilled isn’t pulled into sanctuary fast enough. By now, not only are we battle hardened and self-insulated from the daily MSM/GlobalCorp attack vectors, but we have 24×7 access to highly vetted TRUTH.

Can you even BEGIN to conceive what it would be like to get Red-Pilled while in the middle of the storm of MSM s.m.sites, cable TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, billboards AND be surrounded by blue pill zombies at home, work and school? I dare say that context would be enough the bend, if not break, the strongest. All that does not even begin to consider any shattered belief systems and indoctrination.

DS’s post should be a warning to us at TCTH and reddit/The_Donald that we need to be more effective at pulling the Red-Pilled’s in to sanctuary, must faster.

We should probably be looking at this through the lens of Cult Deprogramming…

Excellent points! I’ll just add to that: Taking the red pill can also cause you to lose many long-time friends… or those you THOUGHT were friends. They’ll turn on you in a second, once they realize you’re no longer one of the brainwashed. They do it partly out of fear… but I think mostly out of jealousy. They now hate you because you’re FREE, and they’re not.

So yeah, you’re right, once you take the red pill and witness the curtain being drawn back, things change rapidly. And as you say, if you don’t have a base of support, which now will likely need to be a NEW base of support, you can feel lost, overwhelmed. Some of us here, especially those like me who started out on the other side of the political spectrum, are just very, very lucky to have found the Treehouse before it was too late.

I am affected by depression and am a pastor who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. My suggestion is that you try to weed yourself off the media-take Sabbath days from news and websites. In addition, if you are clinically depressed that is a medical condition and you need to see someone about that. There is no shame in getting help:

A good little book which contains a section on depression is in “Keep Calm and Trust God” by Jake Provance and Keith Provance with lots of quotes from Scripture, However, do consider getting checked out by a doctor. I will pray for you

Dead Soul, I too took the red pill and my whole life changed. It changed for the better. Instead of just being happy wasting time watching TV, etc. I can now actually make a difference, and SO CAN YOU. It may be in small way, but millions of small ways add up!

We are winning; and we will win in the end. And, we need all the help we can get. No one ever wins by accepting defeat. So, do you want to be a warrior?

This is what got me through the campaign and election. This and PRAYER. Talk to God.
Maybe you don’t think He is there, but He is. I will carry you in prayer with me.

Here’s my suggestion. Watch this prophecy from 2011. Then walk away from all news and politics for a few days. Do things you like to do; smile at the sunshine! We all have to do that sometimes.

The fact that you are still here means that God has a job for you; that plan was there before you were even conceived. Believe me, I am no great thing; but as long as God keeps me here I will FIGHT. You want to fight too, don’t you? You can do that in prayer and a million small ways. If we don’t fight evil – evil wins, but it won’t.

DS, your post really moved me, largely because I, too, experience thoughts like this on occasion. The truth is though, the things you speak of—movies & TV—don’t bring true happiness. They are things of this world, whereas true happiness is from the Lord. It can be difficult sometimes to separate ourselves from this world, but if we are in Him then we are not citizens of this world but of Heaven. That is true life.

Keep your eyes focused on that Blessed Hope, for He is coming, & soon! And know that you are precious to God, & to all of us.

After checking references to the quite sketchy “the great replacement” I have to wonder if someone can OD on red pills. The shock of finding out BuzzFeed was pure propaganda BS could lead one to GLP with eyes *too* wide open. TCTH would be a good antidote for that. We have some of the best vetters and BS crushers on the planet.

D.S. if you are still hanging round, jump over to daily thread and tell us what you have been finding. Maybe you uncovered some stuff we REALLY need to know about, and we should be worried too!

Makes me think of the time a Doc told me “Yes, you are depressed, but i do not find that concerning. It will pass. If you were not depressed, I would be very concerned. You should be depressed. You have a very stressful and depressing life, especially recently.” I have to LOL about that. He was absolutely right. And that did pass. 🙂

Yes, the swamp is deep and the evil in our country is so palpable you can almost cut it with a knife. but if you will look carefully down that long, black, scary tunnel, there is a light at the other end getting just a bit brighter every day as it draws nearer to you.

That light is the Trump Train arriving. Patience, my friend…..Lift up your head, because redemption is drawing near……

DS, I’m praying for relief so your heavy heart may be released from this deep sorrow. I understand how overwhelming things can seem. The feeling that you’re at the end of your rope and where ever you go, you have to take yourself with you.

I can share with you what works for me: sunlight right smack on my face, walks in dirt or sand with my barefeet, and just giving myself the time to think with the phone in my pocket on ‘silent’. Stay hydrated !!

Please don’t make a permanent solution to a temporary problem. We Treepers (us and you) all face our different hells. And, I’m no different.

There’s alot of love in these branches. Don’t doubt the power of online friendships. It’s a joy for me to rub elbows with my fellow Treepers.

I think DS is gonna be just fine. We can infer a lot from those few sentences. The most important being that DS has the raw courage to scream into the night that DS needs help. That also implies the humble nature of asking for help when needed. These are probably the two most important characteristics of a truely great warrior.

Dude, I have a pretty good guess where your life is at right now. If I am right, that is a rough time of life regardless. But, like Don said, you are lucky enough to be past the cusp, into possibly the greatest time in history. All across the planet, the evil forces are falling to the empowered little people. Mr. Trump, even with my greatest respect, is just a vessel, carrying our voices and focusing our power, regardless of what country you live in.

We will overcome them. There are a whole lot more of us than them. And as many treepers have stated outright in the last few hours, OPDJT is enabling us to do this in a civil way, without bloodshed.

We need every able body and mind fighting along side of us. Grab a branch, a keyboard and keep your carry loaded. You have tremendous potential to turn your pain, frustration and anger into actions of a fierce, highly respected and much loved warrior for Good!

Deadsoul, even though there is a storm around you….there is also an inner calm to rely on that wraps you in His arms. We can see the storm without directly feeling its turbulence in our life.

We, as a people, have been through much worse than this and we will get through this also. There is a reason so many have been awakening — and old corruptions are being openly exposed. If there is such a thing as a collective conscience, then perhaps we are building up to a new spiritual growth in our political system. It might be painful to go through, but it will also be a great cleansing. It will be a good thing. A very good thing.

If you feel hopeless and depressed long term then please take a break from this crap. Do not let it consume you. That is not the purpose of the red pill. Spend more time in the joys that the little things in life bring. Balance is important. If you can’t find that place on your own, please seek professional help.

We all get frustrated at times. We all feel cold anger at times. I’ve sure been there. But in all the other spaces we can and should laugh a lot. God is with us through this always.

Soul…we ALL need to make a choice in life – the greastest decision for every soul ever born. And that is will you recieve the finished work of Jesus Christ as payment for your sin and entrance to eternal life with your Creator God? It is as simple as it is profound.

I know this has been mocked, belittled, made fun of and ridiculed. Think about why…the Bible tells us this is not our home and the enemy (yes, the devil) is the father of this world. He wants the Truth to be mocked, belittled, made fun of and ridiculed. He wants you right where you are – hopeless.

You, all of us, have the blessed hope of eternity with the One who loved us and gave Himself for us. All you need to do is believe. Believe that Jesus’ death paid for your sin (ALL of us fall short – we inherited sin from our first parents – man screwed up but God fixed it). And upon believing you attain eternal life – yes, an eternal home where fellowship with our God will be as it was intended…forever.

The Bible describes exactly what you are witnessing in the world today…EXACTLY.
But those who believe know that God’s plan is perfect, He will once again reign and rule the earth, all things will be retsotred.

In the meantime we are called to pray and encourage one another, God’s desire is that NONE SHOULD PERISH. That is our desire too. So we pray for opportunity to share the Truth of salvation – the Truth of etrnal life. This is what we do while we wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We read the Word of God…we are encouraged and amazed at it’s comfort and accuracy.

You asked for prayer – perhaps you know all of this – if you are saved – seek that inner peace that passes al unserstanding and goes beyond circumstances. Jesus promised to send us the Comforter, His Spirit, to dwell in our hearts, to teach us, to calm us. Spend time in prayer, in God’s Word, He is there.

I hear you! But this crushing realization is also an opportunity–as the scales and lies fall away, there is once again an opportunity for something beautiful to grow and flourish. We each must find our ways to make things better, even if it’s nothing more than being polite to people we meet throughout the day–you’d be amazed at how much difference that, alone, makes in people’s lives–many of whom probably feel a whole lot like you do right now. You’re in our prayers, may God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, be with you, guarding and guiding you to the Joy that is His Will for you!

Dead Soul, there is so much left for you in life. Jesus came to give you internal life. Let HIm into your heart. He will lighten your path and give you peace. He has given us hope in President Trump. Do not despair. Hang out here and you will see hope.

I have good news for you. There is HOPE. You will have an abundant life in Him.

Remember the cripple in scripture who needed to be healed, but couldn’t make it into the healing waters and no one would take him? Jesus asked him, “Do you want to be healed?” At first glance, that seemed a cold thing for our Lord to say.

The Lord knew that the man had fallen into hopelessness, and all he could do was lay there and complain to any who would listen. He had fallen into despair. Life wasn’t worth living. He did not want to go on!

But then the Lord told the man to rise, pick up his mat and go home. The man did exactly what Jesus told him to do and he was instantly healed.
I’m not privy to your exact situation, but I know that faith in Jesus is your hope. Let Him pull you up and make something beautiful of your life. For it is written that we be of good cheer, for “I have overcome the world.”

It took me 5 years to shake off the horror that I was seeing. All I could think was ‘stop the world I want to get off.’ It all felt so futile and hopeless. I despaired. I was a wreck.

I got back into the Bible and hanged onto every word that came from His lips. I finally began to see and hear and understand what He was saying and it lifted me up.

I began to follow politics and ended up spending many hours volunteering for specific candidates. I worked hard for President Trump and am currently working in support for Roy Moore. There are others rising up out of this evil morass. They need our help!

It turned out that there was something I COULD do about it.. I gave what time I could, many days 16 hours at a time. Morning, noon and night even tho I had to work. People would wonder if I had disappeared because they had no idea what had happened to me.

It is worth it! In my quiet way, I’m now an activist, working against the evil that has taken over. And now we’re winning! You are not alone. You are just one of many. Together we stand against this atrocity that has come upon our world.

Stay strong. Immerse yourself in Jesus so that you will know He IS in control. He truly is and life is worth living just because He lives. 🙂

DS. consider that you cannot live inside a brick. But if you pile them up in an orderly fashion and bond them together in a common purpose, you will find yourself dwelling in more than adequate shelter … you will find your self living in a brick house with all your friends.

We are all here doing what we can to build that edifice … one that will not only shelter us, but our heirs as well.

Go and doubt no more. The God who gave order to the universe still lives in and, if we inquire of Him, directs us.

Judge Moore will help expose the unnamed politicians who have used taxpayer money to cover up their sexual indiscretions and are ripe for blackmail, as the Democrats let the Aswan brothers have access to the Congressional server. We can only imagine what they know that we don’t.

Sundance of course is correct.. innocent until proven guilty.. After the election, if he is proven guilty he will step down, the opposition will make sure of that.

The Uniparty and Fake News have attempted another lynching before an election..

This election must really be important to them.. They have used all countermeasures.. even chaff – kicking Franken out there who immediately surrenders, as an attempt at associative collective relational disgust reaction in the People in order to lower their incentive to vote for Moore..

..Battlefield Alabama.. You didn’t ask for it Alabama – but there it is.. This battle is bigger than just your State.. It’s the current battle in the War of taking back our Country.. Don’t let Sir Trump and the Deplorables down.. Get everybody you can to go vote for Moore.. we can work out the details afterwards..

Don’t fall for the Women’s March Madness Sexual Abuse Hysteria.
Even if Roy Moore is guilty of the accusations, the offense is not serious enough to destroy his career 40 years later.
Moore is a good and honest religious nut, he is like an Alabama snapping turtle, when he bites don on something he will not let go.
This could be good if he is biting down on making America Great.
It is not like Moore poisoned someones hear with progressive propaganda.
Now that is a crime that should have no statute of limitations.

I know Alabama well, and Moore will win by 10%.
Remember Karen Handle in Georgia?

If someone has the time, it could be worth opening a Wikipedia article on “The Battle of Alabama, 2017” to document how the Deplorable Patriots defeated the decepticon Uniparty. Real-time History in the making…

A superb article and analysis.
You put into words exactly how I feel
These are the words,
“President Trump was/is our corrective political MOAB. There is no longer a retreat position possible. Those who oppose the restoration of our Republic have gone all-in. Their terms are to remove the threat. He and We are the threat..
No retreat folks, none at all!

No retreat. No surrender. With ya, Cisco. Others have said it better than me but I think it bears repeating: “This is for all the marbles. We don’t get a ‘replay’ or a ‘do over’.”

My hope is that the majority of our Military and our LEO’s are all in for MAGA. And if they need us, they know who to call and when. I would not be one bit surprised if there is a constitutional confrontation. The sheep will be separated from the goats.

But I would LOVE to see some formerly important people dressed-in-orange with shiny new bracelets before the guns come out. Let everybody hear it: “Depart from me…”.

I can’t wait until Ryan, the Turtle, McCain, etc. have egg on their faces when Moore wins the Senate seat. I was not for Moore at first, but he is a fighter like Trump. Moore is going to be a thorn in McConnell’s side, and the Turtle knows it. He is not going to play McConnell’s games to go along and get along.

I couldn’t agree more. We NEED to win. And the worst part of all of a loss will be the Left and RINOs always repeat a winning strategy so they’d keep doing it every time they needed to win.
–I just wish there were a way to communicate with Alabamians.
–Drudge wants Moore to lose so he’s not being helpful.
–He still never let his readers know that the yearbook lady hid the fact that the way she knew Moore was he was her divorce judge.
–Scott Adams is predicting Moore will win because of the irregularities on the yearbook signature. He had predicted Moore had no chance of recovery, then he revised his prediction to say he’d win.
–I can’t believe I live in a world where you can accuse someone of a 40 year old non-crime, lie about how you knew someone and totally destroy a person’s character.

My husband (Cuban) and I lived in Etowah County for many years. We have since moved. However today, via text, my husband received a notification from the Alabama NAACP, that they were doing a voter registration drive and he needed to register to vote in the special election. We were shocked. He is a republican, as am I. We think they received his name from last census. I did not receive the info. I am white. So I am guessing Obamas census data was passed on. They assume all non whites vote democratic. The democrats are on the ground are working hard so Moore better start knocking on doors.

Sundance quote in this article:
“This sense of Cold Anger does not want to exist. It is forced to exist in otherwise unwilling hosts – who would much rather be sensing something more productive, yet each person refuses to be destabilized by it.”
WOW, just WOW….so true, thanks, Sundance, for this revelation!.
MAGA to future Alabama Senator Moore.

Sundance, just one small nit to pick with you. You do not seem to give enough credit, in my book, to Dinesh and all that he has gone through against the Left by saying ” … apparently Dinesh D’Souza understand this modern political truth.”

The man understands very well and has suffered and been persecuted a lot for “our” cause. If you do not know about him, I encourage you to read up on his background and read some of his writings and books. Good stuff. My favorite is his book “Godforsaken: Bad Things Happen. Is there a God who cares? Yes. Here’s proof.”

I just threw in $50 each. (Sundance and Moore.)
Been getting a bit overweight anyway, and eating is way over-rated. 🙂

I just pray Moore and his staff understand how to use it effectively, and wish OPDJT was able to “coach” him a bit. I am skeptical how much my donation helps Moore, but if nothing else, it sends a strong message to the Alabama people that we are doing everything we can to support them.

When it comes down to it, it is up to the ALABAMA people. They own this.
The Patriots need to rally their trrops and fight hard to stomp that Jones roach!

I’ve read at other election times that campaigns are very expensive.
Print, tv and radio time somehow become more expensive than if you were selling tires.
In the end I think that the integrity, intelligence and wisdom of the great people of Alabama has been put in question.
And further, THEY DON’T LIKE IT!

My son, whom you know as cetera, got me reading this site about a year and a half ago. I come here everyday to get the real news. Anyway, I’m surprised that none of the Catholic treepers have commented on what day, December 12 is. It is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Judge Moore is in good hands. We just need to ask our heavenly Mother’s intercession and to wrap her mantle around him. All will be well.

It is not the past but the future that counts and without Roy More ( unless he turns out to be another Jeff Sessions) the future of the USA and the Trump agenda will take a serious hit. This has been a War waged against America from within for over 40 years and it is just now that we have a leader that is willing to fight against the enemy of the USA ( democrats, Rinos, leftist, progressives, PCness, etc.) and his name is Donald Trump.

I have never donated to a US Senate campaign in another state but it was cold anger that prompted me to send a donation to the Roy Moore campaign. But the message behind the donation was to the RINO wing of the UniParty: “You’re goin’ down!”

While there is cold anger, there has simultaneously been amazement, joy, laughter and humble gratefulness ever since Nov. 8, 2016 with all the winning. This is how to “Be angry, yet do not sin.” Recognize your righteous indignation, take justifiable action, but always be humble and thankful, recognizing God’s mercy and grace upon us.

The needs of the hour are very well stated. I would only add that our victory will not be inexpensive. The founders of this country pledged their lives, their fortune and their sacred honor. We cannot hope to regain the ground that they won on the cheap. It will take committed lives, committed finances, and a real commitment to liver honorable lives in the face of lies, treachery, and political corruption.

They expect their tried and true sleeze tactics to work as they have always worked…because in the past there was never PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP IN OFFICE that stood with we-the-people. Never, at least in my recollection, and I am a fairly cognizant, engaged, and aware 55 year old woman.

Their tactics are not working – nasty, diabolical, like cornered feral animals they are.

The behavior is shocking and off-putting BUT something to be expected and dealt with.
THEY do not expect we-the-people to fight back because we never had the where-with-all to do so in the past.

Not true today.
We have a voice.
We are a force to be reckoned with.
It is beyond time.

Be of good cheer. The polls are utterly unreliable but there remain things that can be taken at face value. Gamblers’ and insiders’ money is first among them. The largest online bookmaker/exchange in the world has the Republican nominee at:
1/2 (fractional odds); 1.5 (decimal odds); -200 (American odds); 66.7% (implied probability)
and for Moore’s opponent:
2/1 3.0 200 33.3%.
The smart money thinks Moore will win handily.
For me, the important thing is that Trump remains firm and resolute. He has publicly nailed his colours to the mast. How easy it is to follow this courageous leader.

Drudge sucks. 1) He headlined Roy Moore as “Judge Whore” and linked to that yearbook lady. 2) He NEVER let his readers know she lied about how she knew him, that he was her divorce judge and that the signature was a likely fraud. 3) NOW HE’S LETTING THE WORLD KNOW TRUMP’S NOT GOING TO CAMPAIGN WITH HIM.
–I wish I had an alternative to Drudge. We need that seat.

I’ve tried several of the alternatives they were a waste of time. However I do not go to Drudge anymore. I don’t need to read about sex robots or cannibalism and the Trump bashing has become to much.

I’ve honed the websites I read down to those I’ve been reading for as long as they’ve been in existence and I have many conservative friends on Facebook that share stories from other sources.

Here are a few of the websites I now frequent for timely news.
Breitbart – Just avoid the few authors who are anti-Trump
Gateway Pundit –
Townhall – Usually has a few stories not seen elsewhere
The Daily Caller – their comment sections can sometimes get pretty putrid but the articles are timely.
BizPac Review
CNSNews
Truthfeed – It’s pretty new so very sensationalized but still a few good stories
Truth Revolt – A project of the David Horowitz Freedom Center
Weasel Zippers – Many stories not seen elsewhere – excellent humor and the comment sections are very pro-Trump and quite zany.
The Last Refuge – My refuge from the mundane and sensationalized. The best ever to share with FaceBook friends for in depth stories and facts. They love it.

It doesn’t take any longer to visit these sites than it takes to go through Drudge.
